"Le... leave me…" Chloe said in a breathless tone, while trying hard to not look into his eyes.
Sebastian was looking intently at her. He was taking note of her every blink, every twitch of facial expressions and every breath. She was so confident just a few minutes ago and now she was like a deer caught under headlights. He could say that his closeness made her uncomfortable yet she was here to prove her point.
Such a stubborn brat she is!
"I am not a bit interested in holding you either. Just answer my questions without any extra drama and you are free to get the hell out of my eyes." He said with bitterness in his tone and eyes, making her look at him with irritation.
"What?" She almost snapped at him, making him amused by her change of attitudes. But he didn't show it on his face and put on a darker face while tightening his hold around her wrists.
"Don't worry, Bella. Everything is going to turn out good." Chloe said while leaning against the chair with her legs on the table she was sitting in front. She was in a small room which is her office for the next one month as Sebastian Domanco's secretary. The room was one floor below Sebastian's floor. Sebastian's floor doesn't have any other room other than his room. His office room was spacious while she had a tiny room compared to his. It has only a small table with a laptop and a lot of files which she is yet to explore. There were two chairs in front of her for visitors and a small couch placed at the corner of the room. That's it, nothing else. Pretty basic room for the secretary of Sebastian Domanco. "Nothing is good when you are involved in something, Chloe and that's what petrifies me." Bella said with a sigh which made Chloe chuckle at her. "Now you are bein
"How the hell is this possible?! That too in-..." Chloe stopped to look at her hand watch before exclaiming back in her previous loud tone. "Two hours!"She looked at the new attached room with Sebastian's office in astonishment. It was her new room which Sebastian managed to build or renovate whatever within two freaking hours. It was mostly glass and board, so it's maybe a little bit understandable. But it still amazes her beyond limit.This room is nothing like the previous one. It has some decorative objects like vases and paintings. It has a bookshelf too but there are mostly business related books and magazines where the company was featured. There were two other shelves which were filled with different files. A small coffee machine with ingredients and a small freezer too. The room has AC unlike the previous one and the furniture is expensive and more polished than the previous one."Everything i
SIX HOURS LATER"Ughh!! He is a monster!!" Chloe groaned under her breath while walking toward the coffee machine to make another cup of coffee for herself.She lost count after ten and she doesn't know which cup she was in right now. It was almost half past five in the afternoon. Everyone might have left already. She doesn't know as she was stuck in the room from the time Sebastian ordered her to complete all those files. She couldn't even protest or request to have less file for the day as he was already out of the door.She has never done so much work ever in her life. Just a few weeks ago she graduated from the business college with the highest GPA. She was born smart. She didn't even work that hard to get that mark. She can remember things by one interaction. So, graduating from college wasn't a tough thing for her.Her college days were pretty fun for her too. While her friend
"Great observation you got there, Chloe." Katherine said with a sarcastic smile before it was gone. "You are right. Something is wrong. Terribly wrong." She said. Chloe frowned at her with a worried look plastered on her face. She forgot about her work that she is yet to complete as at that moment caring for her friend became her priority. "What's wrong, Katherine? Anything I can help with?" She asked. "I don't know if you can help or not. But I really needed someone to let it out. I don't have anyone to share it with. My mother died while giving birth to me and dad is always out for business. Never really had any real friends to rely on too. So, thank you so much for being my friend, Chloe." Katherine said with a lot of sincerity and genuineness in her eyes and tone. "You are again being formal, girl. But as you are still learning phrases, I will look over it. Now tel
"Sebastian, how are you?" Katherine asked with a polite smile and got up from the chair. She walked toward him and gave him a small hug which he immediately cooperated with. "Hey, Katherine. I am good. I didn't know you were visiting today." He said in a monotonous tone after pulling back from the hug. "Yeah, because today I didn't come to visit you but my friend, Chloe." She said with a big smile which made Chloe smile back. "Oh god, you were serious about the friendship, huh?" He muttered under his breath which she didn't hear and looked at him with a small frown. "Did you say something?" She asked. "Yes, what were you talking about me?" He asked and looked at Chloe with a small glare. Chloe ignored him and looked at Katherine with her eyes a little widened, trying to tell her to not leave her in this situation. But Katherine did exactly that a
"Mr Domanco! Mr Domanco, wait! Listen!" Chloe shouted behind Sebastian who was already out of the building and was going to enter his car to drive out of the office premises. He stopped after hearing someone calling him from behind. He frowned a little before turning around to find the person and his frown deepened when he saw who it was. Chloe Jones, a walking disaster. She was currently running toward him in her high heels and he was sure that she would trip on them any moment. His eyes widened when that happened earlier than his imagination and she was already falling forward after losing her balance from those heels. He acted on impulse and quickly took two steps toward her to save her from falling flat on the ground and hurting herself. She didn't realize when one of her heels broke while running and she lost her balance. She closed her eyes and hugged the files she was
THE NEXT DAY"I am so sorry for the troubles, Bella." Chloe said as soon as she got inside the car. She put on her seat belts and put the file she was holding at the back seat.Bella started the car but not before throwing a frown at Chloe."Why are you saying sorry?" She asked in confusion."You have to drive me everywhere now. It's such a hassle, right?" Chloe asked with a small guilty smile."Are you crazy, Chloe?" Bella bellowed at her in an angry tone. "I can't believe you just said that! You just pushed me away by saying that!" She exclaimed with a hurt expression on her face."Bella, you know that's not what I meant." She said and gave her a sad look."I don't know, Chloe. But I want you to know that, you are not only my best friend but my sister too and doing anything for you was never a trouble. It will never be
"Miss Jones? Where's the file I asked you to get?" Sebastian asked in a hushed tone while glaring at Chloe murderously. Chloe, who was praying till now for him to not notice, cursed under her breath. They were already in the meeting and the meeting had already started five minutes ago. She entered the meeting without the file which she doesn't have at that moment. "Wh...why d..do you ne...need the file?" She asked while stammering and trying her best to meet his eyes. He frowned seeing her acting weirdly. "Don't tell me you forgot the file at home!" He exclaimed while making sure to keep his voice under control and glared at her. She gulped nervously after seeing that she got caught earlier than she expected. "Well, okay look! Don't freak out but yes, I am not finding the file. I clearly remember taking it out with me but I might have forgotten it in the car! But don't worry
"All the participants did a really good job in this first round. I would like to welcome you all once again. And congratulations for coming this far." Mrs Latina said while looking at all the girls who participated in the contest and now standing on the stage, in front of them. They were all waiting patiently for the result which held their presence on the stage in future."It was nice meeting you all but it's really sad that we have to abide by the rules to choose the best one which means we have to say goodbye to some of the contestants today only. Hope we will meet again sometime in the future somewhere." Mr Johnson said while smiling at all of them."Coming to the results, we didn't select anyone in order. There isn't any position I'm this result which we are going to let out now. No one is first, second or anything in this around. We just selected the finalists for the next round, that's it." This time Mr Smith said with a smile b

“Calm down, Chloe!” Sebastian said with a hidden smile as he hugged her tightly.“I can't calm down. I am so angry right now. Oh god! How dare she?” Chloe fumed while hugging him back tightly.“Don’t listen to her Chloe. Don’t you trust me? I am yours and will always be yours. No one can change that.” He said in an assuring tone.“I will not let that change as well. You are stuck with me forever and whoever will try that, I will kill them with my hands.” She said with gritted teeth.“Whenever you talk like this, I feel like…” He trailed off as he cupped her face and looked deep into her eyes. Her cheeks turned red when she saw the intensity in his eyes.“You feel like…?” She asked as her eyes dropped to his lips."Kissing you senselessly."
"You think you are so smart, huh?" Chloe turned around to look at the source of the irritating voice which definitely belonged to Samantha. Chloe let out a sigh and turned around to look at her with an irritated look on her face. "Think?! I know I am smart and now the world knows that as well." Chloe said with a smirk. Samantha didn't seem to like that part. She looked at Chloe with a devilish look on her face. "You think you did a great job by flaunting your husband and father back there, right?" She asked while closing the distance between them a little. "I didn't flaunt, Samantha. I never wanted to mention them in the first place, that's why I made them say that. Our introductions are clearly written in the participation form. They know everything about us but still want us to tell them because they want to see how we are. So, instead of telling the same thing they
One by one beautiful women started to walk in gracefully in their beautiful dresses and do a small cat walk before introducing themselves. There were thirty contestants. A lot of girls got rejected in the selection round after the registration. Now only thirty of them will compete with each other which will come down to twenty after the first round only. So, the competition is hard."Now we would like to call Miss Samantha in to introduce herself and impress our wonderful judges!" Arthur said and everyone clapped.Samantha was standing backstage, after her were two more girls and then Chloe. As Chloe was the last one to register for the contest, her serial was at the end.Samantha turned around and looked at Chloe with a smirk, which Chloe didn't pay heed to."Watch me. I am going to pass this round easily and I am sure you are going home from there only." She said in
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Today I am Arthur. I welcome you all to the biggest beauty contest of the country, MISS NEW YORK BEAUTY CONTEST!" The host said and everyone clapped after him. "This year, the contest is going to be a little different than the past years. Because this year not only Miss but Mrs can join the contest as well! Because you are coming out of the stereotype of labelling women!" The host announced and everyone clapped again. "We have very beautiful ladies as participants today but before getting introduced to them, I would like to introduce our three honourable guests. They will follow the beautiful ladies throughout the journey and choose a perfect and deserved winner eventually." Everyone clapped once again. "Now, let's welcome Miss Latina, one of the best fashion designers around the world." He said and a beautiful woman, wearing a beautiful dress walked from the r
"Oh my god! You are looking beautiful!" Bella and Katherine squealed at the same time as soon as Chloe came out of the changing room wearing the dress."Thank you so much, girls! Do I look okay?" Chloe asked as she did a small twirl for them to see and they did a squeal again."You look more than perfect! Ahh! So beautiful!" Bella squealed with a hand on her heart."Wait, give me a pose! Let me click a picture and send it to Sebastian. He will be awestruck." Katherine said with a wink, making Chloe laugh."No, don't send him a full photo, let's tease him." Chloe said in a mischievous tone, making them chuckle at the plan."Okay, let's do this! Did he call you yet?" BKatherine asked as she and Katherine started to take half photos of her where her full face wasn't visible or only her hair or part of body was visible.

Look who's here!" Samantha said in an insulting tone, making Chloe roll her eyes at her. She was going to reply to her when Samantha spoke up again. "The homewrecker." She snapped at her, making Chloe frown. The other girls in the room laughed while hearing her."Whose home did I wreck by the way?" Chloe asked with a raised eyebrow as she crossed her arms and stood up with her chin held high. She was radiating confidence. Samantha's face became red in anger as she glared at Chloe."Mine! You destroyed my home! My relationship! My engagement with the love
NEXT MORNING Chloe winced as rays of morning sun tickled her eyes. When she opened them, the first thing she saw was Sebastian sleeping in front of her. At first a soft smile came up on his face as looked at his sleeping face. How breathtakingly handsome he was looking and the feeling that he was only his, gave her immense happiness. Her gaze darts on his face, and a soft smile tugs at her lips. She stared at his peaceful expression while he was sleeping. He was so beautiful and breathtakingly handsome that she felt the weight on her chest to even breathe. But the moment the sleep bid bye to her and she came into her full senses, her heart dropped. She held her breath still and looked at him with widened eyes. She found herself wrapped around his strong, possessive and determined arms, the blanket was covering the lower parts of their body. "What the actual
